Perimeter containment system and method of use thereof

Abstract

The present invention is a perimeter containment system and method of use thereof having a control center, perimeter contact units, and a perimeter structure. The invention is designed to reduce human error and misinformation during emergency situations. The invention includes a method of monitoring a perimeter such that upon a breach of the perimeter immediate notice is provided to perimeter units so that at least one of the perimeter units may secure the breach. The invention allows a control center to monitor the location of the perimeter units by use of GPS data.

1. A perimeter containment system, comprising:
 a control center, the control center having a radio communication module capable of receiving GPS data, a processing unit operationally connected to the radio communication module, and an interface operationally connected to the processing unit; 
 a perimeter contact unit operationally connected to the control center, the perimeter contact unit having a multiplex board, a radio communication module operationally connected to the multiplex board, a screen operationally connected to the multiplex board, and a GPS device operationally connected to the multiplex board; and 
 a perimeter structure operationally connected to the processing unit. 
 
   
   
     2. The perimeter containment system of  claim 1 , further comprising an antenna operationally connected to the radio communication module. 
   
   
     3. The perimeter containment system of  claim 1 , further comprising an antenna operationally connected to the GPS device. 
   
   
     4. The perimeter containment system of  claim 1 , wherein the perimeter structure is a fence. 
   
   
     5. The perimeter containment system of  claim 1 , wherein the perimeter structure is a property boundary. 
   
   
     6. A method of containing a perimeter, comprising:
 predetermining a plurality of zones located outside of a perimeter structure; 
 monitoring the perimeter structure; 
 monitoring through GPS data the position of a perimeter contact unit; 
 communicating through a radio communication module, wherein communicating further comprises two way communication; 
 communicating an alarm to a control center from a perimeter structure; 
 communicating from the control center to each of the perimeter contact units the alarm; 
 communicating GPS data from the perimeter contact units to the control center; 
 acknowledging by the control center that the perimeter contact unit is present in a zone of the perimeter structure breach; 
 determining that the perimeter structure breach is secure by the perimeter contact unit in the zone of the breach; 
 communicating that the perimeter structure breach is secure from the perimeter contact unit in the zone of the breach to the control center; 
 resetting the alarm. 
 
   
   
     7. The method of  claim 6 , further comprising identifying which of the plurality of zones is adjacent to the site of the breach. 
   
   
     8. The method of  claim 7 , further comprising moving the perimeter contact unit into the zone adjacent to the breach. 
   
   
     9. The method of  claim 6 , wherein resetting the alarm further comprises resetting the alarm from the control center. 
   
   
     10. The method of  claim 6 , wherein resetting the alarm further comprises resetting the alarm from the perimeter contact unit. 
   
   
     11. The method of  claim 6 , wherein communicating through a radio communication module further comprises manipulating the perimeter structure. 
   
   
     12. A method of monitoring a perimeter, comprising:
 predetermining a location of a plurality of zones located adjacent to a perimeter structure; 
 communicating an alarm from a control center to a plurality of perimeter contact units, wherein the alarm indicates a breach of the perimeter structure and which of the plurality of zones is closest to the breach; 
 communicating GPS data from each of the plurality of perimeter contact units to the control center; 
 recording GPS data by a processing unit of the control center; 
 moving at least one of the plurality of perimeter contact units into the zone closest to the breach; 
 acknowledging by the control center the presence of at least one of the plurality of perimeter contact units in the zone closest to the breach; 
 communicating from one of the plurality of the perimeter contact units to the control center that the breach is secure; and 
 resetting the alarm. 
 
   
   
     13. The method of  claim 12 , further comprising inputting GPS data into each multiplex board of each of the plurality of the perimeter contact units from a GPS device. 
   
   
     14. The method of  claim 12 , further comprising communicating a switch status from each of the plurality of perimeter contact units to the control center. 
   
   
     15. The method of  claim 12 , further comprising silencing the alarm from the control center. 
   
   
     16. The method of  claim 12 , wherein communicating further comprises communicating by use of a radio communication module. 
   
   
     17. The method of  claim 12 , further comprising silencing the alarm from any of the perimeter contact units. 
   
   
     18. The method of  claim 12 , further comprising silencing the alarm from the perimeter contact unit in the zone closest to the breach.
